Plains, Trains and Auto’s Oh My!

Fashionable Stamping  current challenge No. 39 is Plains, Trains and Auto’s.

Thought I would do a fun little tag this time around. 
Look at these bright bold colors and all the fun little embellishments.

  I’ve added wooden plains and a wooden car with windshield and wipers, plus headlights. 

 

Then there’s an old Dungaree button at the top of my tag. I tried to get a good picture of the button, so you can read it, (It reads.. Gross Rail Chief Galesburg), now how cool is that?

Now for all the details, stamp credits; Stampers Anonymous, (Compass, Road sign, plain and Journey) A-Muse Studios, (UAS Map and Motel advertisement.) Inks were distress inks and markers.

Thanks for stopping into today, I always enjoy your visits.

XOXO Love and Hugs

 

The current challenge at  Our Creative Corner is “Shabby Chic.”
I’m adding this card to their challenge.

 

Stamp credits are Artistic Outpost, Stampin’ Up and Hero Arts. 
 

I used Tim Holtz’s “Word Play” set for my letters and my distressed markers. 

 Added some lace and 3D hearts.

Thank you for visiting today.

I’m Back, I Hope….

I was told by (Google/Blogger) that my blog was hijacked or hacked into, so this gave me the opportunity to make some cards. (Why not make Lemonade from the Lemon’s that were handed to me?) Now that this is behind me I would like to go back and post some card challenges that I could not participate in.
For the last challenge at Fashionable Stamping I wanted to post this card.
 

For Our Creative Corner last challenge I made this card and could not post it until my blog was un-locked.
 

I also made two Valentine cards. First one for Barb and the second one for Sara.

 

 

Thank you for your time today, now I’m off to get caught up on your blogs.

Lace Valentine Box With Candy.

Now I’m talking Valentines!!

What female would not swoon for a box filled with

Hershey’s Kisses with Caramel and Dove Deep Dark Chocolate promises?

Well believe me there was at one time a (full) box of candy here, but it was hard work making this box, and a girl does have to keep up her energy. Only took me four times to finally get ONE box made, plus candy. Can you guess (I’m Box Challenged?)

Lovely lace hearts cuts create this little box, all four sides were cut using the same Spellbinders D-Lites Die, (Medallion Four). I used a Martha Steward punch for the box top (Embroidered Floral).

Added Red Pearls from Kaiser Craft, and Needloft plastic canvas yarn was threaded through the top of the box.

Five (25 mm) Gold Filigree Rounds from Bits and Pieces were added, plus paper roses, red heart sequins and (With Love) ribbon.   The box measures 2 5/8 x 3 ¼ .

Now that it’s done (for now), I’m wondering if legs for this box would work, or would it look to (Bird Cagey) ?

But then this opens another door, can’t you see two white Love Birds on a branch? Ring bearer box? Don’t stop here as there’s Easter.

Would Love to see what you come up with.

Hugs.. XOXOXO

Our Creative Corner Challenge is

One Stitch at a Time!

For this challenge, you have to use fabrics in any part of your card, either as a flower, a small embellishment, or whatever you want!

We also want to see stitching, either faux stitching or machine stitching. Please specify where you used your fabric if it is not noticeable in the project, and above all have fun! This challenge closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 14th.

For my card I used pre-printed cotton fabric (see below card for detail of snowflake print), witch I printed this vintage image onto.

Cut it out and added matting, stitch around the edges and added gingham ribbon and lace witch was also stitched down.

I used EK Success punch for snowflakes and Martha Steward for the large snowflake, then Tim Holtz for pine bough, and Martha Steward.

Thank you for your time today.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season,

we have some snow today, really makes it feel Christmassy out.
